FRIDAY FAVORITES SPRING IS GETTING CLOSE

Happy Friday! What is happening in Indiana? 75 degrees predicted today. Mother Nature at her finest until she decides to drop 30 degrees in the next couple days. I swear she’s bipolar, LOL. How nice to enjoy sitting outside this week reading a book, a nice long lunch with a friend, where we stood outside and talked more because it was so beautiful! And you’ll see I the last pic, a walk outside with the girls!! A good week!

Target Sandals

Let’s just say these slide sandals are on TARGET! Super affordable, very on trend, and most importantly for me, comfortable! I love both of these! My toes aren't ready for them yet but I'll get them pretty polished and warm weather shoes ready, lol.

Easter Decor

How cute is this! Everything but the tulips is from Walmart, and they are so realistic from Amazon! I love it, but it did take me 12 boxes of the decorative eggs to fill the vase, lol

Posts of the Week

Who am I with three posts this week? In case you missed them, on Monday, I talked to all about our Kentucky Bourbon Trail Trip and on Wednesday I joined the Let’s Look prompt to talk about How I Reset For the Week week ahead on Sundays.

Blast from Last

This past weekend, Mr. Nine and I had a lovely dinner with my mama at a fabulous restaurant in our area. This restaurant opened in October and my mom and I went for her birthday in November. The golden hour had just passed when the waitress snapped this picture, the lighting was perfect

and I just love it.

A Walk with These Girlies

And of course, a humongous favorite is taking a walk in the sunshine with these cuties! Walking with them and their mama talking about sticks, bark, shadows, staying on the sidewalk. It’s crazy how big they are getting and so smart. I said we are having adventures!

Ugh and someone hacked my TikTok account. Changed my phone number so I cannot access my account. I’ve submitted a support ticket, but if you know how to recover an account, let me know.

Got up at 3am to see the blood moon eclipse. Did you see it? Not as spectacular as I’d hoped for, lol.

I do hope you have lots of sweet adventures this weekend my friends!

FRIDAY FAVORITES 10 YEARS

Last day of February! Can you believe it? The month of Spring is upon us. And it's my Beautiful SIL's birthday! I hope you’ve had a great week. It's been good around here, warmed up to the high 50's but cold is back. That's ok, cause these lovelies visited me Wednesday (they are 17 months old today) and I am healing decent with a follow up Monday.

They took turns sitting in the rocking chair I had as a little girl. We have mine, Pop Nine's and their Daddy's rocking chairs all in the toy room.

10 YEARS

I was going to make a dedicated post about my 10-year Blogging Anniversary tomorrow. I was going to make this a big deal but last year on my nine-year anniversary,

I wrote a post that pretty much sums it up that I really loved it. You

can read that HERE.

But I do want to say in the 10 years of blogging I’ve gotten more out of it than I ever thought I would have. I almost quit last year, and I never thought I’d be doing it this long. The number of bloggers that have come and gone is crazy.

I looked back on a fashion link up I used to participate in with The Blended Blog (remember that?) and we would have more than 115 people linking up with us. You can see by link ups nowadays that they just aren’t as many of the OG’s around.

BUT I’ve gained THE bestest of friends, growth within myself, helped others and I’ve become a better photographer, lol. Anyway, cheers to 10 years and maybe 10 more, who knows?

HERE was my first Friday Favorites post. Of course I started with the Movie Sound Of Music and Julie Andrews b/c it's my fav of all time!

CHER SHOW

What a delight this Broadway musical was! I did not realize it had won 2 Tony awards. The three ladies who played Cher at different stages of her life were incredible! My mom and I really enjoyed it and then we stopped for yummy pizza to bring home to Mr. Nine.

Outfits....Black and Color

I do love all black, but if you’ve been around long enough, you know that I also love some color so I’m bringing you both today. Aerie is back with the cutest and softest of sweatshirts!

Monday's Post

In case you missed it on Monday, I tooted my own horn with a POST about recognizing things we are good at. Of course, I had a couple trolls come in, one saying I must’ve had plastic surgery on my face, if only? LOL! And another saying I had an inflated ego. Anyway, I delete those comments for the most part, but I have been hearing that many of you bloggers have been getting that same troll, just the kind of recognition she wants I am sure, lol. Keyboard haters at work are part of our world decline in humanity. So sad. Pray for their souls.

Blast from 2015

Instead of doing a blast from last year photo and memory, I’m sharing my top four viewed outfits that first year of blogging in 2015! I think I’ve come a long way but they’re still kind of cute, lol. And camo pants ar back in, lol.

Amazon Link Up Reminder..MONDAY

Jill and I are back on Monday with the second installment of our monthly Amazon link up! We hope you will join us.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends! I don’t even think we have any plans and that’s ok, lol. But today, my mama and I are on the ultimate Paczki hunt! The cream cheese filled are my favorite. Paczki’s are a big thing around our area in the days leading up to Fat Tuesday this coming Tuesday. I’m breaking my healthy eating for a bite of this seasonal yearly goodness!

YUMMO! Have you ever had a Paczki??

LOVE YA!

FRIDAY FAVORITES....ALL THE LOVE

I was going to have this Friday Favorites include Chicago for our quick overnight there, but I have so much to share about it, so I’m making it an entire post next week. Also, much more to come about the fabulous Birthday LOVE I received from Friends and family.

It was an unseasonably warm week here with 80° temps and I enjoyed every second of it. And Mr. Nine got his second vaccine on Wednesday thank goodness. I get my next week. He did say yesterday that he felt like a Mack truck hit him but he’s tough and he’s strong and he plugged away!

1. Birthday Luncheon

Truly, I probably should’ve titled this post all the love from my marvelous mom! My mom executed the most fabulous birthday lunch last week! She pulled out all the stops from the ombré pink cake, gorgeous decorations, my favorite eggplant Parmesan lunch with a delightful salad and of course the traditional yearly Key Lime pie! THE BEST KEY LIME EVER… Recipe HERE

All the gifts she gave me were straight from her heart and I may have cried many happy tears. There’s so much to mention and I shared a little bit on Instagram stories but my favorite gift of all is the Beautiful Necklace she gave me that was her own handwriting! She sent her handwriting to the Etsy Seller that said, “Love you beautiful girl, mama” And they created the most precious piece that I will keep forever!

Opening it before I cried, lol

Just precious! Talk about a special gift for those you love! She can do bracelets and rings as well!

2. Michigan Day

In keeping with my precious mom theme, we got to enjoy a lovely day and soak in those temperatures in lower Michigan on Wednesday! We just had to take advantage of the great weather because it’s back to the 50s here in a couple days, typical Indiana weather.

We enjoyed a lovely alfresco lunch at a place in New Buffalo Michigan called Beer Church. It’s so much fun you guys and the Margherita pizza and blood orange mule was delicious!

We then stopped by a greenhouse but the greenhouses here are not quite ready with their flowers yet, so it was on up to St Joe, Michigan to Silver Beach. Had we known so many people were going to be laying out on the beach, we would’ve joined in, but by that time we were just ready to work off our lunch with a walk out to the beautiful pier! Lake Michigan is so tranquil!
